"It's heartbreaking for all of the staff here," said Laura Mulconrey, a UCP teacher. "We really put a lot of ourselves in our job every day, and to see something like that, that directly hurts the children, it's very hard."

Deputies said more than $20,000 of technology, including computers, laptops and iPads, were taken during three separate robberies occurring Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

"We have two students in our room who communicate through the program," Mulconrey said. "That's the only way [for them] to communicate with friends and peers in the classroom."

The office was robbed too, deputies said.

"We have security and alarms, and all the rest but they were able to get around it," said UCP CEO Ilene Wilkins. "[They] took all the technology that the kids use. As you can imagine, [for] kids with disabilities, technology is even more important."

Blood was found on the broken glass. Deputies hope the blood will lead them to the people responsible for the robberies.
